The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, invites applications from outstanding individuals for teaching undergraduate courses within the Department of Computer Science.  The positions are open for individuals with a proven track record in teaching and education.  Having a PhD is an advantage, but it is not a strict requirement.

The Department will consider applicants with previous teaching experience in a post-secondary setting and we will consider applicants whose abilities cover a broad range of topics and levels.  A Master’s or equivalent in Computer Science or related areas is required, with a strong preference to applicants who possess a PhD.

Recognized as the top computer science department within western Canada and consistently ranked within the top three in the country, the Department of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia is also known internationally for excellence in research and its emphasis on an outstanding environment for undergraduate learning.  For more information, please visit our website at www.cs.ubc.ca.
